I.  Global Warning
 

The more women have distanced themselves from their first cause, their spirituality, the more the second cause, the soul-spirit of their spouse, loses significance: compassionlessness, abuse, sacrilege, compulsion for the gratification of the senses are being aroused, the urge to self-will foments war for the bigotry of faith – the more women lose of their potency: how deeply entangled they are in their own affairs, without even having a notion of what a humanistic perspective means. Soulful cultural masculinity is needed now, 'if society wants to obtain truth about itself, if it wants (and must) to produce a conception of modern society, because then it is a thing that can only be done through communication' (Niklas Luhmann).

A Stepped Path to Peacemaking Manhood  The first step to achieving 'the Healing of Our World' cannot be taught in books or imparted by a teacher. It must be made to happen through »love of the Immaculate Conception«. The next step is: to visit Her. The third step is 'the banquet' where even children proclaim: "The Most High has sanctified His tent; God dwells in Her, She will not waver."

"Thou knowest not rightly in love", said Diotīma {priestess in Arcadia} to Socrates, "since thou seemest openly to oppose in thy words the precepts of love. By the precept of love we are taught that whoever does more good deeds should enjoy greater honour and be encouraged by many rewards. But if we should accept your speech as true, the good deeds will harm those who perform them; conversely, it will seem to benefit others to have abstained from good deeds and to have done nothing good. You say that you wanted to be instructed on this point by my teaching; but I firmly reject this effort, because the choice of a scholar as a lover is probably preferable to the choice of that man, who must be instructed by my effort. This one is first always poor before God¹, and much is lacking in him being "tender and beautiful"; for he is indifferent, without fame or renown, unshod, without a dwelling², touching the earth with his head {planetary awareness}, he sleeps outside the doors in the streets under the open sky, and according to the nature of his mother {Prajñāpāramitā} is always a child of need; on the other hand, according to his father, he pursues the good and beautiful, is brave, bold and sprightly, a mighty chasseur, always plotting, "always plotting, always seeking insight, full of sense, philosophising, all his life long – what a mighty magician and alchemist and teacher of wisdom and fine speech! Neither like a god nor like a man, soon flourishing and prospering on the same day, if it is well with him, and soon also dying, but also reviving again, coming to life again through the nature (of God) of his father. If the love of women is directed towards this, they are the lovable and indeed to be praised as truly beautiful, tender, perfect and blissful. - Socrates, you seem to suffer from too great ignorance." Andreas Capellanus, De Amore, Liber primus 54-55; Plato, Symposium 201d-212c, The Speech of Diotīma.

¹Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. (Matthew 5:3)

For I am poor and afflicted; my heart trembles in my breast. (Psalm 109:22)

²Jesus answered him, 'Foxes have their dens and birds have their nests; but the Son of Man has no place to lay his head.' (Matthew 8:20)

'The slime mould is an amoeba-like creature that occurs in vegetation on forest floors and reproduces by mere division, so that the progeny of a single cell spreads over a larger area over time. At some point, the food in the immediate vicinity is exhausted, so that the colony of these individuals threatens to die off. At this point in development, a remarkable process occurs: the individual cells begin to move inwards. First they move close together. Then they network, merging, to form a single complex organism. Thus, when the circumstances of life change, a large number of individual cells, previously unconnected, join together and give up their individuality, forming an organism, taking on its special function in the service of a whole.' David Peat, The Philosopher's Stone, Chaos, Synchronicity, the Hidden Order of the World

Women's rights - What needs to be changed? Which path leads to it?
"Man, are you capable of being fair? A woman asks you this question. At least you will not be able to take this away from her. Tell me, who has given you the autocratic power to oppress my sex? Your strength? Your talents? – Do you derive your tyrannical rule from this, your right to equality, to say no more? See the sexes in the order of nature. You have tailored a principle out of the exception. Extravagant, blind, puffed up and by science and spirituality and degenerate, you want to despotically command a sex that possesses all intellectual faculties." Olympe de Gouges 1791 (The Olympic Games 2024 Opening Ceremony Paris)

Ethics in relation – Whose knowledge is this knowledge? And what is the purpose of the knowledge of a capitalist economic order?  If we assume that young men die in wars, disease seizes women, then it is certain that territorial bosses are not interested in in bringing about healing. . . they will always resort to concubinage, pleasure marriages or remarriage in case of divorce. . . until riots, war engulf their own country and pandemics, natural disasters bring the economic system to ruin – what then?

A man who has not acquired his universal religious, spiritual and human ABC {(A) purifying himself through the imagination of the Immaculata (B) spiritually ascending in stages of initiation in order (C) to have mercy on the soul misery of his neighbours in the community} will convey illnesses, deficiencies and harmful influences to his female partner through the act of love instead of letting femininity shine in the light of Christ. The man's sustainable marriage must improve everything in the woman he loves!; his spiritual mind must empower Her with universal will and his planetary conscience must enlighten Her to let Her soul descend to its destiny. A man can only be happy in his soul, and thus rejecting the disease-causing influences of his body and his personality, if his wife – in the second half of her life – when the virgin soul goes to meet her true bridegroom¹ – blossoms thanks to his love and the love of his wife will thank him that they have both succeeded in helping humanity and protecting planet Earth. Expressed in the words of mysticism, man's creative spirit is 'God's tender root, from which the rose can grow up into the sun's blossom'. In other words, and to bring awareness to the urgent need for psychoanalytic dialogue: if feminine desire is flowing down naturalistically, so the masculine loses 'its head and the girl brings it to her mother'². If masculine spirit nourishes the feminine heart upwards to the soul, the man becomes 'the head of the woman'³; this leads to the afflatus or appearance of the Holy Grail, "God, the head of Christ, is Notre Dame" – 'the descending power of agape causes the ascending power of the eros'⁴.

¹But in the middle of the night suddenly loud cries were heard: 'The bridegroom is coming! Go out to meet him!' Then the virgins all got up and trimmed their lamps. But the foolish ones said to the wise ones, 'Give us some of your oil or our lamps will go out.' The wise ones replied: 'Then there won't be enough for us or for you; why don't you go to the merchants and buy what you need?' While they were still on their way to buy the oil, the bridegroom came; the virgins who were ready went with him into the wedding hall, and the door was shut. (Matthew 25:6-10)

²The head was brought in a bowl and given to the girl, and she brought it to her mother. (Matthew 14:11)

³But I want you to know that Christ is the head of the man, the husband the head of the wife, and God the head of Christ. (1 Corinthians 11:3)

⁴But hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts through the Holy Spirit who has been given to us. (Romans 5:5)

Wisdom instead of knowledge  "Unpeace will be destroyed. That’s why you should take care that you set up for peace!" (Niklaus von Flüe). The clever man may take a stand for diversity and laws of change because the nature of narcissistic egos is to overwhelm others in proportion to their material concreteness – the more concrete they are about this, the more luminous 'Iblis Unpeace' appears. Since knowledge is the food of the soul, one is interested in 'knowledge of names and forms'; some call this "learning", although it does not give them a feeling of constant comfort, nor is 'peace' thus being achieved {in the urge for self-realization our children's minds are rotting in a false understanding of civilization}. Wisdom is the opposite of intellectually accumulated knowledge, because enlightened by the inner light of the collective divine femininity, transformed into its bodhisattva soul, women thus educate men to the soul maturity of archetypal action [the dynamic basic structures of human patterns of imagination and action in the universal community]. Love for the ideal of the 'returning Christ' {the Planetary consciousness of the woman born from her husband's creative spirit} lends the view for 'the similarity of all things and beings' as well as for 'unity in names and forms'.
